CHALLENGES OF CLASSES

Resumption of face-to-face classes is one of the major steps of the Department of Education this year which gives way to the birth of whole new challenges for the students Traffic is one of the major problems in the Philippines even during the PrePandemic Era Traffic is caused by insufficient road infrastructure or road construction

Traffic is a burden to a lot of students when the in-person classes resume especially for those students who live far from their school as they need to take a lot of patience when going to school Now that face-to-face classes have returned, drivers expect that there's a lot of students who would take public vehicles as their mode of transportation

According to Maryjoy Nobles, a Grade 12 ABM Student at Arellano University, traffic is one of her problems in the morning She said that at 5:00 in the morning, she was already waiting for a jeepney but it took a lot of time before she could ride one She also added that traffic causes lateness for some of the students

Also, Philip Xerxes Ishmael Casimiro, a Grade 12-EIM student at CSHS experiences the burden of traffic as he needs to take 3 trips for him to get to school He stated that he spent 10-20 minutes waiting for vehicles to arrive He also added that he copes with traffic by preparing 2 hours in advance but sometimes because of unexpected happenings on the road, he's still late for his class

FACE-TO-FACE

Meanwhile, after 2 years of being stuck in a new Mode of learning which is the modular and online classes when you have control of your schedule and this face to face causes you to do some major adjustments

In addition to that, Some of the students will be excited to get back to school and some of them will be hard to adapt to based on KidsHealth

As a student who has experienced online classes adjusting to resuming face-to-face classes may involve getting used to a different learning environment and classroom dynamic, as well as potentially adjusting to a different schedule It may also involve re-learning how to effectively take notes and participate in class discussions It may be helpful to reach out to the teacher or other students for support and to establish a routine

Francis Aaron Molina, Grade 11STEM student at Sienna College of Taytay said in a conducted interview

Also, Gavin Kendrick M Abonita, a Grade 12-STEM student at Juan Sumulong Memorial Junior College stated that he adjusted to resuming face-to-face classes by practicing socializing to make friends and to cope with his classmates as he used to be alone and not talking to other people
